Medical Balloons

There are compliant and non compliant balloons & catheters available in the market for a wide range of medical applications. Varying from “standard” cylindrical balloons to cone shaped or dogbone shape balloons. Balloons are produced using a blow molding process from an extruded tube, so they typically have two balloon legs.

Our supplier TSS produces molded and extruded silicone balloons & catheters , manufactured to your specification.
For other balloons, we can refer to other manufacturers.

Sizes range from 0.5 to 50 mm in diameter in virtually any working length

Burst pressures typically range from 15-400 psi (1-27 atm)

Remember: Not all Medical balloons are equal! It is not enough to produce thin-walled balloons. The wall thickness or thinness in the cone and neck area is just as important as a thin body, and in most circumstances, a thin neck and cone are critical for achieving low profile and flexibility (track ability).

Semi-Compliant Dilatation Medical Balloons

High-strength, thin-walled

Can be fabricated from PET, Nylon, Polyurethane, other thermoplastic elastomers

Used for PTCA, PTA, stent delivery, Kyphoplasty and other dilatation procedures

Compliance range: 10-20% (typical)

Sizes range from 0.5 to 50 mm in diameter in virtually any working length

Burst pressures typically range from 15-375 psi (1-25.5 atm)

Compliant Medical Balloons

Low pressure, thin and thick-walled

Fabricated from Polyurethane, Nylon elastomers, and other thermoplastic elastomers

Used for occlusion and anchoring in a variety of medical procedures
